Everyone, please find your seats. 
The students who enliven this site will hear that call throughout Yale's schools soon. It's signaling us, too. We have some new terms to bring to our standing desks or our job sites or our models.  As we prepare this newsletter, representatives are preparing new routes to financing through the United States tax code and through the European Union regulatory system. For all we see worth cheering in those moves, we keep war, fire, flood and fear in mind as we make our plans. So we see many cues to settle in when we can and learn where we can drive progress. 
This edition completes our tax-equity explainer series and looks ahead at prospects under a new American climate law. Take your time with it, then take your questions to us and your ideas to each other. Thanks for your participation as we all learn on the fly.

Tax Equity and Its Great Expectations
Drew D'Alelio, Maria Jiang, Joe Langer, Noah Lerner, Eric Pan, Joel Puritz
The five students who ran a small-group tax equity study last spring knew that mass deployment of clean energy requires broader access to tax equity economics. In this closing installment, they chart one path forward that got relatively little love in the Inflation Reduction Act but that still reveals much about how the public sector can speed up deployment. Look ahead...
What Are Key Gains From the Inflation Reduction Act? How Much Time Ya Got? 
Alec Appelbaum   
Scan the news for umpteen distillations of the $369 billion package of incentives and investments that put a Federal grounding under all American clean-energy projects this month. Then ask yourself: what's the distillation over the next decade or two, as emissions almost certainly overshoot goals? This column draws on a smaller but comparably seismic bill to frame the outlook. Plan accordingly... 

Notes From the Field

  • A judge rules that it's not cavalier to site turbines in Lake Erie, bolstering offshore wind in Ohio.  
  • Over in the startup corral, commercial vehicle makers throw off sparks as they compete for share
  • A step-change in American fair-housing enforcement looks likely to consider climate impacts
  • As we projected, a leader in carbon finance has called for government to play its part
  • And amid acceleration for small modular reactors, a commercial nuclear plant gets the go-ahead
